The Tidings of the Resurrection (Author: [unknown])

section 29

All the impious also will arise in integrity and in completeness of their bodies, without diminution and without defect of any member upon them. Howbeit, thus will those bodies be, with overburthening and molestation, with unshapeliness and excessive oppression accompanying them. Again, in the souls of the impious, the law of intelligence or of understanding, of illumination, of wisdom, or of knowledge, will not shine; but they will abide in sorrow and sadness, with the dark obscurity of their ignorance and their unwisdom within. They will all, moreover, be black of body13 outside.
